Complimentary Meals for All E.L. Haynes Students!
Our food service will operate under the Seamless Summer Option for the school year 2021-2022 as allowed by the USDA under emergency legislation to aid in the covid-19 recovery. This means that all students at E.L. Haynes will receive complimentary breakfast and lunch, plus snacks where applicable for the entire 2021-2022 school year!
Grab and Go Meals will be made available for students who have opted for distance learning via the medical exemption waiver.
If your student requires dietary accommodation for medical, food allergy or philosophical reasons, please let your teacher know and email Sebastien Durand, Operations manager at sdurand@elhaynes.org who will connect you with your student’s Food Service Coordinator.
